Reported Questions | Grammar | EnglishClub
www.englishclub.com › reported-questionsWe usually introduce reported questions with the verb "ask": He asked (me) if/whether... (YES/NO questions) He asked (me) why/when/where/what/how... (question-word questions) As with reported statements, we may need to change pronouns and tense (backshift) as well as time and place in reported questions. But we also need to change the word order. After we report a question, it is no longer a question (and in writing there is no question mark).
